The New Year is well underway, and with a slew of exciting new technologies set to hit the market, small businesses should be seriously considering a few technology upgrades and investments to ensure they keep up with the latest trends. As well as curing the post Christmas back-to-work blues, here are some top reasons to grab some new gadgets for the office.
New developments - With so much going on in the world of consumer and small business technology, there's no excuse not to keep up-to-date. Will your employees be able to access their work anywhere and anytime using cloud technology? Will they know how to use tablet PCs to collaborate with each other and share information? Remember to keep in mind which products are the most appropriate for your particular company. Forking out for a bunch of Windoro window-washing droids for your small law firm is probably not the wisest investment.
New toys! - Splurging a little (within reason) on some cool and functional gadgets can help renew enthusiasm for yourself and your employees, help you do things more efficiently, and boost productivity and mood in the workplace. Pocket-sized projectors, super high-tech headphones and computer accessories are just of the options out there. Just make sure the gadgets aren't too fancy so as to be a distraction from work.
New all-in one devices - Allowing you to streamline your work, multi-functional devices, especially scanners and printers, can help reduce overall running and maintenance costs, as well as cut down the time spent waiting around for your laser printer to churn out your documents.
New software - Today's better business upgrades aren't all just about new equipment - software upgrades can vastly improve your workflow by minimising downtime and promoting efficiency. Business management software and systems like Canon's uniFLOW can help streamline your multifunctional devices throughout your office and increase productivity.
New budgeting options - Financing options and renting are also making it easier for smaller businesses to acquire the technology that they need. It also allows you to stay up to date with the option of upgrading to the latest technology as soon as it becomes available.
